I don't mind looters who are starving and loot the closed supermarket. That is a matter of survival. Food tends to spoil anyway and is most likely a total loss.
But I have no tolerance of theft of wealth goods like jewelry or computers or the people who are enriching themselves on the misery of others.
Today, a caller on talk radio revealed how a father/friend of his was going to New Orleans to take care of his son. The son was a gunshot victim of a looter of his house. While the son was out helping neighbors, looters helped themselves to his house. When the son returned, the looters shot him.
Looters of houses and non-edible goods should be shot on sight. No questions. Looters force the redirection of critical resources and shouldn't be tolerated. They are a threat to the health and well being of those in the community and it shouldn't be tolerated. We don't have the resources to jail or arrest them or take police and guardsman away from rescue efforts.

The loony looters!!! I hope they figure out a way to eat those shoes and drink those coat hangers.
